Lasting Impression

Claude Monet called his garden his "most beautiful masterpiece." As a tribute to the impressionist master, the New York Botanical Garden has created a seasonally changing interpretation of the garden that inspired Monet. The opening day of the exhibition is Saturday, May 19, when visitors can also view two rarely seen floral paintings by Monet, including one work that has never been exhibited in the United States. Tony Award-winning set designer Scott Pask created a facade of Monet's house, offering visitors a re-creation of the view Monet had while creating his masterpieces. During the summer, the Conservatory Courtyard Pools will display a collection of water lilies, the plants Monet collected for his water garden. Visitors can also take a poetry tour, see screenings of Monet-related films and download an interactive iPhone app.

Monet's Garden is on display through Oct. 21 at the New York Botanical Garden, 2900 Southern Blvd., Bronx, N.Y. For more information, visit nybg.org or call 718-817-8700.
